NFL expanded the International Player Pathway program to eight teams for the 2018 season.

The program gives teams an extra practice squad slot for an international player. The four teams in the NFC South participated in the program last season, and they will be joined by the four teams in the AFC North this year.

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.” --- Bill Shankly

Free agent OG Richie Incognito informed the Bills he will not retire before they granted his release on Monday.

No thanks. Seems like a head case.

"I'm done. That's it. It's been a long career. Went to the doctor. My liver and kidneys are shutting down. The stress is killing me. It's just about doing what's right. I just want to be in the Hall of Fame," Incognito said.
